Bukit Asam sought a fairer domestic coal supply framework on October 8, 2026, while Bukit Asam stock was unchanged at EUR 0.17 at Lang & Schwarz at 11:05 a.m. CEST versus a prior close of EUR 0.17. CNBC Indonesia reported that PTBA wants a Badan Layanan Umum, or BLU, scheme to distribute the domestic market obligation more evenly among producers.

Supply rules carry a 9.40 million ton figure

PTBA said its domestic market obligation reached 9.40 million tons in the first half of 2026, equal to 53 percent of its 17.80 million ton allocation. Deliveries to PLN Group reached 7.78 million tons in the same period, according to CNBC Indonesia.

The proposed framework matters because PTBA says the current burden is uneven across producers. The company reported that its DMO reached 24.50 million tons in 2025, or 54 percent of its production, against a mandatory level of 25 percent.

Three recent operating milestones

On October 6, 2026, PTBA confirmed that an open tender for heavy electric coal trucks was under way, with VKTR among the participants, as Bloomberg Technoz reported. The tender is linked to lower-emission transport at PTBA's Tanjung Enim mining site.

On October 8, 2026, PTBA said first-half production reached 19.45 million tons and set a 50.00 million ton production target for 2026. CNBC Indonesia also reported first-half revenue of IDR 22.03 trillion and coal sales of 21.10 million tons.

On October 8, 2026, the company linked its supply proposal to national power security. For investors, the central operating trade-off is visible in the numbers: PTBA is targeting 50.00 million tons of production while already directing 53 percent of its first-half allocation to the domestic market.

Profit growth adds financial support

In the first half of 2026, net profit rose 218 percent year over year from IDR 0.83 trillion to IDR 2.65 trillion. Revenue increased 8 percent from IDR 20.46 trillion to IDR 22.03 trillion, while EBITDA reached IDR 4.27 trillion and net profit margin was 12 percent, according to CNBC Indonesia. The reported profit increase gives the production target a quantified financial backdrop, although coal supply rules remain an important operating variable.

What does the production target mean?

PTBA's first-half production represented 38.90 percent of the 50.00 million ton annual target, while first-half sales reached 21.10 million tons. The combination of higher profit, an 8 percent revenue increase and a 50.00 million ton production plan places execution and domestic allocation at the center of the company's next operating update.

Stock holds at EUR 0.17

PTBA's primary listing is on the Indonesia Stock Exchange under ticker PTBA, where the finance quote showed IDR 3,320 on October 9, 2026 at 3:49 p.m. WIB. The same quote showed a market capitalization of IDR 38.2 trillion and a 52-week range of IDR 2,170.00 to IDR 3,490.00. Lang & Schwarz showed EUR 0.17 in trading on October 9, 2026 at 11:05 a.m. CEST, unchanged versus the EUR 0.17 prior close.
